About this property

Whiskey Sands • 4 Ensuite Suites • Backs to Gulf State Park • Dog Friendly

Whiskey Sands is a rare Orange Beach home designed for groups who want space, privacy, and zero compromise.

Four private ensuite bedrooms with no shared walls, no negotiating who gets which bathroom. Two separate living areas plus multiple outdoor spaces so everyone can spread out. A fully fenced backyard backs directly to protected wetlands and a canal, with the 6,150-acre Gulf State Park just beyond - sunset views, wildlife, and a setting you won't find elsewhere in Orange Beach. The beach, restaurants, and nightlife are all a short walk or quick drive away.

What makes Whiskey Sands different:

4 private ensuite bedrooms, no shared walls - ideal for multi-family trips and couples traveling together

Backs to protected wetlands and a canal with Gulf State Park beyond - sunset views, wildlife, and a setting unlike anywhere else in Orange Beach

One of the largest fenced yards in the neighborhood - natural gas firepit, gas grill, and room for the dogs and kids to spread out

Two living areas plus a second-story balcony - the balcony is a genuine difference-maker

Dog friendly (up to 2) - bring the whole family

Walk to Doc's Seafood & Steaks, The Ruby Slipper, and Live Bait - right at the front of the neighborhood

Half a mile to Romar public beach access - beach cart, chairs, and toys stocked and ready

Sleeps 12 across 4 ensuite bedrooms plus a queen sleeper:

Bedroom 1: King
Bedroom 2: King
Bedroom 3: Two double beds
Bedroom 4: King plus single day bed
Living room: Queen sleeper sofa

The home:
2,500 sq ft of thoughtfully designed coastal luxury. High-end Bosch fridge, kitchen stocked like our own - including an upgraded coffee bar and a brand new built in bar with a beverage fridge. New washer and dryer. Natural gas firepit. Four parking spaces, perfect for multiple families.

Entertainment:
75" Roku TVs in the living room and game room, 50" in the double bedroom, and 43" TVs in every other bedroom. Log into your own streaming apps to watch your favorites. A portable Bluetooth speaker is stocked for the porch, balcony, or firepit.

The location:
Set in the Summer Salt Subdivision, right between Flora-Bama and The Hangout at Gulf Shores - the best of both worlds for live music and beach bars. The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail (named USA Today's best recreational trail in 2023) has access points just down the road, offering 28-plus miles of paved trails through Gulf State Park. Community amenities include a beautiful pool, putting green, and fishing-friendly lakes.

Included for your stay:
Beach cart, beach chairs, beach toys, pool and beach towels, and a curated local guidebook at check-in. Don't miss the dolphin tour - it's genuinely unbelievable.

Your hosts:
We're Distilled Destinations - a small, family-owned collection of upscale homes in places we love to visit. We're Premier Partners with properties in Orange Beach, Steamboat Springs, Gruene TX, and Mars Hill NC.

We had a perfect stay here in February 2026. The home is immaculate and incredibly well stocked for larger groups. The host responded with all inquiries immediately. We traveled with our dog and the fenced in yard was a huge bonus. We look forward to a return visit next time we are in the area.

Wonderful fall getaway!

Couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better house! Sandy was amazing! Anything that could have been thought of for this home/stay was executed! All of the little things made the house feel like a home. It was a little chilly on a few nights & the fire pit was perfect. The front deck was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. Beautiful home, we will definitely book again in the future!

Fabulous Property

Sandy thought of EVERYTHING when furnishing and stocking this beautiful home! We and each of our adult children, two of whom brought their families with small children, enjoyed the luxury of our own suites and the nice touches of an open common space upstairs and down. We loved our time here and hope to come back in the future!

We feel so fortunate to have found this property. It was in a perfect location along ocean Blvd with easy access to both Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. The love and care put into the home is easy noticeable and it was just a perfect spot for our group of 8. If you are checking this out, stop searching and just hit “book”, you won’t regret it.

Amazing Floorplan and layout!

Everything about this home was perfect! Firstly, Sandy is top notch when it comes to hospitality. The decor and layout of this home is breath taking. Although it is spacious and open the home feels so cozy. The water was hot which I loved! The property was clean and the beds were so comfortable. My family of 10 all slept comfortably. I look forward to booking this home again.

Great property with fully fenced yard for our pups. Sand yard gave them their own “beach” since local beaches are NOT pet friendly. Nice gas fire pit in back for cool nights. Nice, new house with large TVs and new appliances. Highly recommend.

Amazing property and perfect location

This was an amazing property! This was the first time we have rented a house for our stay in OBA. We generally rent one of the condos. The property did not disappoint, and this was a great choice for our first time at renting a house. The property is in a very good location with a pool access inside the neighborhood. There is beach access within a 5 min drive or 20-30 min walk. The host has the property stocked with all of the essentials. So, do not buy anything until you visit the property. The only thing you really need to bring is food. The host was very responsive, and I will definitely rent this property again. Loved our stay here.

Reprieve and Tranquility

My family and I enjoyed this beautiful new home in the center of Orange Beach, AL during my granddaughters spring break. The home is brand new with every amenity. Never experienced such a thoroughly stocked home with all the utensils, plates, glasses - paper products, and appliances. The home is truly large enough - (2) bedrooms down and (2) bedrooms up both with sitting and relaxing dens with large televisions. The backyard is fenced with wrought iron so not to worry if Fido wants to roam. We enjoyed he new gas grill and the fire pit in the evenings. Sandy is a super host and cares for her guests. We definitely recommend this property and the host.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy

Host profile image
After 35 years in engineering and construction, I now focus on creating exceptional stays through Distilled Destinations. I own and manage luxury vacation rentals designed with comfort, style, and original art. I take pride in providing memorable experiences and some of the quickest responses in the business!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with Summer Salt! It has the look and feel of Watercolor or another high end beach community, and is brand new. There are natural water features all over the neighborhood, and it backs up to the Gulf State Park. Just an incredible area.

What makes this property unique

We’ve not cut any corners. We added a big landscaping project with a built in natural gas firepit and enough seating for everyone. We added an iron fence to still show the beauty of the wild park behind the home, but keep your kids and dogs safe. We added tons of local original artwork, and we’ve really put our hearts into the design and furnishing.
